~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MASTER CLASS ONE: 9am to 5pm

Background:

In the past, we have been giving free personal conselling to many.
The number has increased ever since there has been much publicity
about the industry picking up.

There are 2 groups of people we are reaching out to:

A) Graduates from CG related courses
We have come across many who were quite lost when it comes to
preparing their showreel and portfolio. Many showreel and portfolio
does not speak well for the artists. It does not demonstrate that the
artist has the capabiliy to take on a specific role in the
production. A lack of interaction between the artists and the
industry is one of the cause of it. Hence no matter how many
companies we have introduced to them, they still failed the
interview.


B) A and O levels students and those who decided to enter the
industry

With the increased in publicity, many have been taking up both public
and private courses without a a clear idea of the industry and what
is expected out of them. First, they need to have a clear idea what
is the role they want to play and what kind of skillset is required
to take on the job. Only then they will know how to choose the right
program to assist them in preparing oneself for the specific job role
they want to play in a production. Learning with an objective in mind
is important.
